I agree, this is a solid release and although Maxell XL-II’s were not made in 72, this does indeed sound very clean and therefore is from a low gen source. Other than the BBC 1972 source, this is the only other show I have from this period of Beck and I’ve enjoyed this so much that I’ve listened to it 3 times already. This release is also numbered and appears to be limited to 200 copies.

Not sure when those tapes came out (thought it was late 70′s though). If that isn’t the actual master cassette, then it is certainly from a low generation. Very enjoyable both sound quality and performance wise and is another great Jeff Beck Group boot for the collector. Great job on the review.

Yeah, a great release indeed. My only question would be is that really the master cassette pictured? That Maxell XL-II design wasn’t around ’til the 80′s, was it? Never seen a pic of a master tape cover from ’72 that looked like that before but I could be totally wrong: I was 7 years old in ’72 and hadn’t started buying blank cassettes yet.
